HDMI Handshake Malfuction "Fixed"

I didn't see where you mention what model and make TV you are using this on. Also Support may not have been able to help you because it may have been a new issue that they have not encountered before or reproduced themselves yet so they can create a fix for it.

I'm glad you found a fix for it yourself but coming here and saying what you said in the manner you said it was not necessary nor warranted. 

My TV is a Sony LCD bought in 2008,  KDL-40S2010.

My statement is well-warrented. If you take a look at the original post in this forum regarding the same issue, http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_forums/xbox_support/f/7/p/143610/1168681.aspx#1168681 Xbox Support was unable to resolve it given the information that it was supplied by the user in need of help.

I'm sorry you think my manner was uncalled for, but I called Xbox twice and was given useless advice. I am here offering a solution to improve Xbox support.

I want xbox to understand that this is not a problem happening with a specific TV. In the links to other forums, users with the same issue have different models of TV's than mine. Just FYI.

If you are a member of Xbox support, I am sorry if I am coming across very shrewdly, I am not a troll. Are the links I have provided in my original post not enough to understand the problem?

Oh I understand the problem. I just think you could have been more tactful in your presentation. As I said MS may not have had this issue before and did not know how to resolve it. Good that you found a solution, next thing would have been to post it in a civil and polite manner instead of a bashing rant about how MS was useless in helping you and the ONE other person having the same issue. Now do you understand where I am coming from? 

Duly noted. I did not mean to come across to anyone rude. The problem might not even be as common as I had perceived it to be. In any case I appreciate your response and am glad to have been able to provide a solution and will check my tone next time.

can i ask one question tho ?? what are xbox doing about all of this ?? im having the same problem and by the looks of things so are alot of others !! not being funny but why should we have to out and buy more things to make an xbox work ??  Plz dont think im being rude, its just a questions !!

And a massive thanx to you Snake for a solution no one seems to come back and tell anyone anything once they have fixed something, you have been a great help

Same problem with my TV (Samsung plasma, PS51D450).  Every other piece of equipment works fine with it (HTPC, Bluray player and PS3).  This is an Xbox issue.

Hey there, o MIKEZ o. If you're having a video issue, can you please create a new thread for us? Please be sure to include a full description of your situation along with any troubleshooting steps you have tried so far. This will enable us to get the troubleshooting process started. Thanks in advance!

Iv also encountered this problem (there are many people who have too) with my Xbox and my new Samsung TV. Something must have happened to the settings of the Xbox when I hooked it up to my other Sony TV, so when I tried it again on my Samsung it no longer works leaving a 'no signal' message. I tried it on a different but very similar Samsung too and same story. I tried every other blind resetting and pixel changing trick suggested on the net and its still not working. The whole reason why I bought this tv was to play my Xbox and now I can't. I'll have to try spending more money and getting a HDMI switcher.

*Sigh*
